CMS choices
I have flu this week, so I’m working on the relatively thoughtless task of chosing a CMS for the new site, www.imakewebsites.ca. Drupal is amazingly flexible and most of the tools I need for running my site are at my finger tips. I love that it will give me lots of room to expand the site with blogs, forums, polls, comments, and its content categorization is top notch. The template system is nice and simple too. Yet there is something very appealing about my own CMS that I wrote. It is about 10x faster and handles meta tags better, but all it can do is write pages. I’m not sure why I like it so much.
Right now, I’m leaning towards getting the site off the ground with my simple CMS. WordPress here is a better blogging system than Drupal, and scripts are available for just about everything else my CMS could need if I can’t make it myself. Should I need to switch to Drupal, moving content over should not be too hard.
